About this work

This painting shows a hillside town with a winding road and people walking below. The colors are bright but brushstrokes are thick and rough, almost like the scene was painted quickly. Buildings cling to the slope, and a flag waves near a tower at the top. The artist used a lot of visible brushwork—paint is almost scraped on in places, giving it texture. This style makes the scene feel lively but unfinished. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
